RefWorks allows users to organize their references into folders. Users can click the "Organize & Share Folders" tab to create new folders by typing a name and clicking "Create". References can then be viewed and sorted into these folders. The "Last Imported" folder automatically contains the most recently added references, while other past references are listed as "unfiled" until placed into a created folder. Folders can be navigated from the toolbar for easy viewing of organized references.
